Do you think drug companies have your best interests in mind? Before you answer, I urge you to read "Live with Dr. Ray Strand" to uncover shocking facts about the drug industry and your health.

Dr. Strand is a classically trained physician with more than 30 years of experience in health care, and in this interview he reveals why he believes many consumers are being harmed and even killed by commonly prescribed medicines. He is a respected author of several widely published books, including "Death By Prescription" and "What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You."

Many of the insights he shares in his recent books are also discussed in this interview.

The information in this interview is vital for the wellbeing of everyone who relies on conventional medicine to treat disease. Read "Live with Dr. Ray Strand" to find out why he believes most drugs are not adequately tested, and how you might be a human guinea pig without knowing it. He also explains why he has come to believe that nutritional therapies are far more effective than many of the pills doctors give their patients.

Read "Live with Dr. Ray Strand" to learn:

* Alarming statistics about the number of people who die from
prescription drugs

* Why the current reporting system for drug side effects is failing

* Why over-the-counter painkillers cause hundreds of thousands of
medical emergencies each year

* Why only 1% of the population is meeting RDA nutritional
requirements through diet alone

* How to prevent disease with nutritional supplements

* Why treating heart disease with cholesterol-lowering drugs fails to
treat the problem

* How pressure to use medications is resulting in an overly medicated
society

* How drugs have to kill thousands before they are pulled off the
market

... and more.

There should not be any advertising directly to the public, regarding a drug that can only be obtained by prescription. The only reason for such activity is to increase sales. That should not be the primary goal of the manufacturer. Also, there are far too many drugs these days whose insert information relays the fact that the efficacy of the medication is not much better than that of a placebo. Why are we taking these? This is a very important and timely seed, Nearing. Thank you.
